Say Anything Wednesday

Mariah -- oooh now that is tempting!  I'm on vacation Friday and going to Denison to shop with my Mom. (I know, that's totally backwards)I should be done though before the game would start .. let me see if FI will go and I'll let you know!

I steer clear of Black Friday. I don't have enough patience an would start getting cranky before we would even leave the house. Paying full price is better than losing my sanity. And my cousin who is 18, on probation for drugs, and lives with his parents just had a baby today. NO ONE knew his gf was pregnant...Awesome. Wanna know the baby's name??? Keegle. Yep, like the exercise.

Mariah&Steven

ahahahahahaahahah!!!!  Keegle??  That is AWE-SOME!  Seriously. Tiffany, I haven't been to a Denison game since the homecoming after our senior year.  This is just going to be too good.  Steve graduated from Pearce, so I just know we'll have a good time.  We went to one of their games (Pearce) when they played Greenville and they were OK.  They beat Greenville...but they don't have as good of a record as Denison.  I seriously cannot wait. Trash talking will ensue.  No doubt. This is seriously the best news I could have gotten today.  I am looking forward to this more than anyone could possibly know.  I'm seriously bouncing up and down in my chair and have a huge grin on my face.

Haha, I haven't been since the year after we graduated either.  When I read that they were playing JJ Pierce I was haunted by the voice of Dr. Raleigh saying how good their band was.  I'm a HUGE dork, I know.We are going to the TCU game on Saturday night so we might just have to make it football weekend!!!!

I LOVE black Friday sales! My brother and I would tend to be up and out at best buy first thing in the morning.  Last year, I did hit up Kohl's and Best Buy and still made it to work by 7am.

Mariah&Steven

Oh my gosh, Lauren!  That makes for a long day!

All you black Friday people are NUTS!!  I'm with Emi.  I just don't have the patience, or tolerance of the unwashed masses to survive Black Friday crowds.  I do most of my Christmas shopping online because I can barely tolerate the crowds on regular holiday shopping days.

My step-mom and I go out on Black Friday fairly early, but we don't go to the stores with the craziest people (i.e., Wal-mart) and I don't have any memory of someone being rude to me.  If you've got the patience to deal with crowds, you can get some good deals.  I'm fairly passive myself, but it's never been detrimental to our shopping experience.  If I want something badly enough, I'll try for it then and if I miss it, I'm sure I'll get it later.

I've never gone shopping on Black Friday, but I did work it one year. But, it was at the Galleria, which doesn't exaclty attract the crazy bargain shoppers, so it wasn't too bad.

Jay&Marissa

Best Buy starts handing out the vouchers for the good stuff a little after midnight, FYI. We made that mistake one year. Last year I dragged my sisters (2) and Jay's sisters (3--including a 5 year old) to Target at 6am. It was a blast!

Mariah&Steven

My OM wants me to come to talk to her about a few things.  It makes me nervous whenever she does this.  I don't know whether it's good or bad and it puts my stomach all in knots.

maykious

I know exactly how you feel, Mariah.  My stomach gets in knots just thinking about it.

BanannaP

Your who, Mariah?

Jay&Marissa

I did a hypnosis session this morning (one of the random perks of being an IT intern...???) and I supposedly will not be craving soda, candy, or cookies anymore. I really hope it works...even if it is a placebo effect.

emimayor

I think Mariah means OM/Office Manager.

maykious

I really hope it works...even if it is a placebo effect.Me too--for your sake.  I swear so many things work on me that are probably placebo effects.  But if it works, then it works.  Good luck to you

Oh my gosh, Lauren! That makes for a long day! That it did! I'm excited to be able to actually take that Friday off this year, one of the benefits of my new team.I just got back from lunch with my mom (today is a Holiday for my office) and it made me really miss being able to have lunch with her on a regular basis.

Mariah&Steven

You know your job is ridiculous when you get in trouble for reading a book.

Tiffany618

**Warning: Vent** I am at my wits end with my job.  I had to make myself leave for lunch today (when I had WAY too much work to be doing that) just so that I would not say something I would regret. I have 17 territories I cover and I feel like I have 17 different managers.  The managers within any given territory don't communite with one another, so when I change something for one of them, the other calls me p*ssed about it like its my fault.  I'm seriously about to tell them to get their s*it together before they call me because I won't be making any more revisions due to their lack of communication.**Vent Over**  (sorry, I'm pretty sure there was no point in putting that on here...but I do feel better now!)

Mariah&Steven

You know you're desperate for a new job when you contact your ex-best friend in hopes that she'll somehow have the hook up and know how to get your name into a school district.

I am starting to get a little frustrated with my photographer. It's been a month since my wedding and I still don't even have any teasers yet. I realize she edits them but does it really take a month to get some teasers out?

Mariah&Steven

Lindsay, I didn't get to see any teasers and I had to wait over a month to see my pictures.  Just have some patience, she'll get them to you!

Tiffany618

Mariah, I don't know where/what exactly your looking for...but I think Lindsey (think tall, skinny flute player from HS) works for Dallas ISD.  I don't know what school or if she could even help but I just thought I'd let you know, she is on Facebook.

I just was offered a position on the Music Theatre of Denton governing board.

My brother is in band at AHS and they made it into the plalyoffs. Where will they be playing Friday night, the same night I am getting married?The Cowboy Stadium. I feel so bad for my brother for having to miss that How freakin awesome is that opportunity?!In other WR news, I am almost done with the last minute wedding things! Tomorrow should be a more relaxing day than today! Even though I did get mani and pedi today hehe

tiffnrich2010

I've had today off- it's be great spending the day with my favorite little man! We went to Chik-fil-A and ate lunch, then to Toy's R Us, and Garden Ridge.  I'm starting to really get into the christmas spirit!
